Former Manchester United ace Ruud Van Nistelrooy is being tipped to be the man most likely to become the next PSV manager.
Current boss Roger Schmidt will leave his role at the Netherlands club at the end of the season when his contract expires after being able to agree a new deal. Van Nistelrooy, who is currently leading PSV’s reserve side, played for the club between 1998 and 2001 prior to his £19m move to United.
He helped them to back-to-back Dutch titles in the 1999/00 and 2000/01 seasons, earning the league’s golden boot twice during his stay. The 45-year-old seemingly ruled himself out of the running for the soon-to-be vacant position at his former club earlier this month, saying: “I don’t think I’m ready for that yet.”
